f. S. Mcdonald was the first of the
Chicago boodlers to be convicted. On Mon
day last his little son had u terrible fall,
which fractured his skull. Efforts were
made to obtain permission for Mcdonald to
be present at the bedside of the little suf-
ferer, but they failed. The boy died in
few hours When Mcdonald was informed
of the death of his son he said nothing, but
placed his head between his hands and wept
as if his heart would break. The way Of
the transgressor is hard.

Programme of the Protectionists.

Senator Sherman, in his Springfield
speech, advocated the total repeal of the
sugar duties and the payment of a bounty
to the sugar planters of this country as the
most satisfactory way to reduce the reve-
nues of the government. Several of the
Republican papers agree with the Senator,
and also favor the repeal of the tobacco tax.
The proposition to repeal the sugar duties
and pay sugar planters bounty is not a
new one, but it seems to meet with more
favor from the protectionists than ever
before. They are determined that the
duties upon clothing, agricultural nipple
ments and many other articles which the
people are compelled to have shall not be
reduced, and they will, therefore, make an
extraordinary effort, when Congress meets,
to carry out the programme which Senator
Sherman has mapped out. They have very
little to say now about reducing the tax on
whisky. The prohibition sentiment is so
strong that they are afraid of offending the
Prohibitionists by advocating free whisky.
The revenue from sugar is about SOL ,0O0,-
600 year and from tobacco about $26, 00O,-
600. There are several objections in the
way of carrying out this Republican pro-
gramme. In the first place the sugar duty
is revenue duty. The amount of sugar
that is produced in this country is so small
that it is an insignificant part of the total
consumption. The duty, therefore, unlike
the duties on many manufactured articles,
goes into the Treasury. 1t is by no means
certain that the repeal of the sugar duty
would make sugar cheaper to the consumer.
The chances are that an export duty would
be placed upon it, as in the case of coffee,
and the revenue which now goes into our
Treasury would go into foreign treasures
1t would also be difficult to determine the
amount of bounty which ought to be paid
to the sugar planters. 1t is pretty certain
that those who cultivate wheat, cotton
oats, etc, would object to paying a bounty
TO sugar growers unless a similar provision
were made for their benefit There are plenty
of cotton planters who claim that they can
not raise cotton proftably at tire present
price Of that product, and doubtless there are
farmers who cultivate wheat and corn who
are ready to say the same thing. If an at
tempt were made TO assist one class of
farmers there would be trouble at once.
The only plan for reducing the revenue
that will give general satisfaction is that
proposed by the tariff reformers. Their
purpose is to benefit all classes. The pur-
pose of the protectionists is to benefit
few, and these few are chiefly those whom
the protective system has made rich.

For many years the good Sisters of Char
ity at New Orleans have done a noble
work in the Charity Hospital of that city.
Strangers who are brought into contact
with them are impressed with the sweetness
of their dispositions and their fidelity to the
trust reposed in them. A Cincinnati lady
who visited the hospital thus speaks of
them: "To these plain-habited women, so
quiet and so fearless, New Orleans hes ten
dered the freedom of the city for all time.
No money is asked of them ON the bridge or
boat; they alone, of all the throng, ride in
the street cars without paying fare
their habit is their passport every
where. Ladies bow to them as they
pass along the streets, gentlemen lift their
hats, and under those white bonnets l have
seen faces so sweet and sanity that | have
thought they were fashioned thus pure be-
cause SO many dying were to look at them
throughout the years; because they had so
often symbolized mother, sister, God, to the
wrecked and homeless and plague-stricken
of the land. There was one sister to whom
talked in the charity hospital, and who
took me over the immense building, whose
voice was the sweetest l ever listened to.
Even her cheeriest talk had in it that little
culver of sympathy that is like the minor
tones amidst harmonious chords of music. y

John Tobin, of Kansas City, is about to
institute suit against Salt Lake City for
property valued at 100000. He alleges
that i'll 1868 he was obliged to leave Salt
Lake City, with the penalty of death hang
ing over him should he return. just before
John D. Lee was hanged for the Mountain
Meadow massacre he confessed that he had
been ordered by Brigham Young to murder
Tobin. He had, in fact, attacked Tobin's
family and killed several of its members,
but had only succeeded in wounding Tobin
himself. At the time Tobin fed he owned
considerable property in Salt Lake City,
which has increased in value until it is now
estimated to be worth 81 100000 The case
will excite much interest, for it is said that
it will bring to light more than one crime
committed by order Of the Mormon leaders.

ARCHBISHOP WALSH TALKS
ABOUT THE ACT.

Two EmperOrs Kiss and Part
Hawaiian Affairs.

BALTIMORE, Nd, August s.-The
Sun today has letter from its special
correspondent now in Dublin, which
includes an interview with Archbishop
Walsh on the probable eject Of the
coercion act. The archbishop says he
does not regardit as a political ques'
lion, but as one purely social and
economic-one that concerns the
domestic welfare and the happiness
OF every household in the land. 1t Is
qnite certain that the literal execution
OF the act would break mp, root and
branch, the National League aud abso-
lutely stifls any open demonstrations
OF sympathy with home rule. 1t is
probably quite ~ much on &C
count OF its unusually harsh
features % for any other
resson that the Irish National
ists look upon 1t rs q measure that
England would fully avail itself Of "a
an extreme reeort. The Archbishop,
attaching onlys secondary importance
to this act, and looking upon the
amended law bill ss removing q large
port on OF the injustice OF which the
Farmers complain, augurs happy pros
pecs for the iuture. He, TOO, thinks
that 10 year or two more an Irish
Parliament will again cit In the old
Parlian ent house In Dublin.
In the matter OF the evictions,
which the archbishop asks to be
stopped, the fact seems appalling that
for the three months ended on the
second Of July, l40 persons have
been evlcted. Gladstone, he said, did
not want an appeal to the country this
year, when they we're all as conh.
dent a. could be that Gladstone would
90 back to power, with q tremendous
majority to back him. The archbishop
said he never went to Dublin CASTLE,
which Ia the abode OF the Lord Lieu
tenant Of Ireland, except on public
business, bat he seemed TO think u
was probable In view Of the expected
improved order OF thinge, that b,
would in the future visit there socially
